Another Festival has come and gone and we are thankful to the many people who donated their time and efforts to make this African American Heritage Festival a success. We took a little different path this year and reached out to past as our theme "Snapshots from the Past". We concentrated of our history and the public seemed to have enjoyed the weekend. We wish to thank our Sponsors, the City of Staunton, Fisher Auto Parts Professional, the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities, Dominion Resources, Target and the Wedding of the Century Family. Special thanks to Mr. Marvin Scott, Mr. Author Thomas, Mrs. Nancy Sorrells, Dr. Julius Gaines, Ms Louisa Dixon, and The Luray Branch of the Buffalo Soldiers.

A special thank you to the Pastors, Ministers, Musician and Choir Members from the various churches.

We are grateful to the all the people who came out Friday and Sunday to help up set and take down, this is not an easy task and we want you to know that we appreciate your help and support.

There are many challenges that the Committee face each year and we are always most thankful to YOU, the public, who come out and support the Festival. This is why we continue every year to work hard to bring you the best Festival possible with the resources we have to work with. We also received donations from many of you and we are grateful that you chose to support this event. Again we say thank you.
